I wrote about my Best of 2016 photos here. What a fun and enlightening experience going through all my 2016 photos was. I feel super fortunate that I had enough good photos that I can do another Top 10 via this Honorable Mentions post… these were the ones that DIDN’T make the cut.. and a lot left that didn’t make Honorable Mentions. Must mean it was a great year.. and it was.

Just when we thought the snow was over and Summer was coming early, we got a storm out of seemingly nowhere. Yes, the weather forecasters said it was coming… but they are often wrong. So we didn’t expect much… certainly not what we got.

It came hard and fast. It was heavy and wet, and probably dumped around 16″ in 12 hours. It was fun to watch as it came sideways across the horizon sticking on the trees previously bare of snow.

It left just as fast as it came, and was gone seemingly overnight. Because it was so wet, it melted fast.
